Authors Are Our ROCK STARS Tour: Tahereh Mafi

Today I have the fantastic honor of hosting the brilliant mastermind behind two of the most sex-tastic and incredible fictional boys to ever exist...ever. Oh! And she also created a pretty kick-ass heroine too!

I’m talking about the one and only TAHEREH
MAFI!! *CLAPS WILDLY* *CROWD ROARS* *twirls*

Tahereh Mafi is a girl

She’s 24. She was born in a small city somewhere in
Connecticut and currently resides in Orange County, CA, where she
drinks too much caffeine and finds the weather to be just a little too perfect
for her taste. When unable to find a book, she can be found reading candy
wrappers, coupons, and old receipts.SHATTER ME is her first novel.

Tahereh is one of THE FUNNIEST and NICEST authors I have
ever had the privilege of talking to via the twit! Many a times she has
entertained my ideas of writing more naked Adam scenes and one time...one time she
said she wanted to...wait for it....SQUISH HUG ME INTO A MARSHMALLOW!! Like how
freakin’ adorable is she?! Yep, pretty much I'm kinda sorta absolutely in love with
her and her brain. Not ashamed. :P

Shatter Me is an absolute favorite book of mine and
Unravel Me still has me at a loss for words after finishing it over 3 weeks ago. YEP. THEY ARE
THAT GOOD.

Why are Tahereh’s books so bomb, you ask? Well, because
she is! And because of her ability to create a plot-line that twists and bends like gnarled tree branches— stunning dialogue
that splashesyou in the face with its sadness and humor— passionate scenes that spark a heat between your fingers and her scary way of writing EMOTIONAL EMOTIONS that rattle your soul. Oh and of course, there’s Adam and Warner and Juliette
and Kenji—AMAZING characters you can’t help but fall madly and deeply for!

And it just so happens....one of those very, very fine characters has decided to
grace us with his undeniably charismatic and striking self this fine day...

B: Let’s start this thing off with the most burning question on
everyone’s mind: boxers or briefs?

W: I don’t see how this is any of your business.

B: Ooookay, then. *Clears throat* Um...I can’t help but notice the
ring you’ve got on there. It’s very lovely; does it mean something special to
you? Hold any kind of significance?

W: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

B: Riiiight. Okay, so Warner, surely you know you’re very
attractive. And you could quite possibly have any girl in the world. (ME! ME!
ME! PICK MEE! Or Jena! :P) So why are you so intent on Juliette?

W: Pass.

B: Huh...touched a nerve there me thinks. Speaking of which, do you
feel as though Adam Kent is any type of threat to you? Whether that be
physically, mentally or I don’t know, like, love triangle-y?

W: Adam Kent is an idiot.

B: I have to disagree. Adam is smart and sensitive and sexy but
alright, you’re obviously not a fan. I know you’re not all bad though, I’ve
heard through a very reliable source that you once helped a stray animal. Have
you ever considered having a pet, Warner? I hear they make great companions.

W: Who have you been talking to? Where are you getting this
information?

B: I know people, who know people. So how do you feel about having
your story shared with the entire world?

W: What story?

B: Umm...nothing...never mind. Ooh! What’s it like to get shot?

W: It’s wildly inconvenient.

B: I bet. Ouch. Okay, so what was your reaction when you touched
Juliette for the first time and you realized she couldn’t hurt you?

W: Do you make it a habit of asking such horribly invasive
questions?

B: *Flushes* Sorry, Warner...Ok, last question, so your dad…how is
it working for him?

Wanna learn more about Warner? Be
sure to check out this novella coming out this October!

In Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me, Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment by seducing Warner—and then putting a bullet in his shoulder. But as she’ll learn in Destroy Me, Warner is not that easy to get rid of. . .Back at the base and recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must do everything in his power to keep his soldiers in check and suppress any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father, The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son’s mistakes, it’s clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.Set after Shatter Me and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me, Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.~Goodreads

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I miss Warner all over again! His answers may have been terse, but I know! I know! And I think it's been like two months since I read UNRAVEL ME? And I'm dying all over again! What a fan-freaking-tastic interview.

And I love, love, love what you said about those boys - "sex-tastic and incredible fictional boys" - uh... YEAH!

I have not had the pleasure of tweeting with this amazing author. I'm so in awe of her that I don't think I could type a tweet other them olkjdfoije djfldkjen! Yeah. So... yeah.
